Several of our young men and girls

Langford and Alice Bowers to Columbia,
Tomas Sease to S. c. College, John
Boozer to Wof.rd, V. Y. Boozer, Jas.

We are really proud to know that
Newberry College has begun the present
session with greater number of STU
dents than at any previous sessions.
Our people are awaking to the impor-
tant fact that Newberry College is IA
vorably located-that it is really first
class institution, and is second to none
in the South. 1t deserves the liberal
patronage Of all onr people.
Rev. C. A. Marks and wife returned
from very pleasant vacation spent in
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania,
and are again at their respective posts OF
duty. Rev. Mr.. Marks was greeted with
very full congregation on Sunday
night after his return. We know this
made him feel glad. II he never knew
before he certainly knows now that his
efforts are appreciated by his people,
whom he so faithfully serves.
We were sorry TO see the farmers
meeting at Newberry so thinly attended.
Now, we would urge upon the farmers
the Importance of attending these meet
ings. The farmers are the only people
in the civilized world who are Indifferent t
to the great interests to be gained and
promoted by close union. These
unions have done, and are doing great
work, are building and cementirg to-
gether vast communities in interest and
if this work is continued with proper
management, the time is coming, when
the farmers will not be compelled to
bring their cotton to market and take
the price established for year ahead by
New York and Liverpool sharpeE, but
they can have it in their power to say to
these gilded gentry we will sell at a
price established by ourselves according
to the legitimate cost OF production.
An accident, which in all probability,
will prove fatal, occurred last night
Tuesday,) on the Columbia and Green
vile railroad near Rooms trestle, six
miles below here. A negro who gives
his name as Dave Cooley, and halls from
Greenville, seems to have been stealing
a ride on the down freight train, and
either fell or was pushed from the top
OF the cab and striking his head on a
cross-tie has a fearful wound. The skull
has every appearance Of being broken.
A physician has now gone to examine
him. The negro seems not to know
how it happened or where he fell from,
but it was evidently from the rear Of the
cab, as his head struck near the centre
of the track. Had he fallen between the
cars, those passing over him would have
crushed him into shapeless mass. His
Injuries were all received from the fall,
not by crushing. Better pay your fare
and ride with comparative safety.
An extra session OF Newberry Confer
ence convened in Grace church yesteT-
day (Tuesday.) The following delegates
were present: Clerical-Rev. G. W..
Holland, Ph. D., Rev. J. Hawkins, D. D.,
Revs. J. A. Sigh, S. T. Hallman, q. W
Bedenbangb, C.. A. Marks and J. D.
Bowles, Of the Central Conference. The
following lay delegates were present: j.
A. Mayer, j. D. Sheely, W. L. Riser,
Jas. A. Riser, W. F. Suber, L. NJ. Eel
lers. Jeff. Quattebaum, VIM. Hipp, D.
Rikard, II. II. Folk, A. B. Miller, Caleb
Cook, Maj. j. Epting, A. Il. Kohn and
Metts. As soon as the president,
Rev. q. W.. Bedenbaugh, announced
conference organized and ready for bus
mess, the following resolution was Of
fered:
Reso1ped, That the following churches
in the order named shall constitute pas
torates: 1st. Beth Eden and Colony.
End. St. Matthews, St. Phillips and
R1dge-Road. Sd. Macedonia, Mt. Pill
grim and O'Neall. 4th. St. John s and
Bethlehem. 5th. St. Paul's and Mt.
Tabor. eth. St. Luke's. 7th. Grace
church. That this arrangement GO into
effect one year hence; aud that in the
meantime, all the congregations effected
by this action be allowed to make their
own ARA ngements.
AS this resolution embodied all
! for which this session Of con.
ference was called, it very naturally
elected long and animated discussion
but finally the rough ashlar came fortl
from the hands of the workmen; beau
tifully polished stone, fit for the build
er's use, and the resolution passed unan
imously, and conference haying disposed
of the business for which it was called
adjourned. YUBE.,
Among hundreds Of testimonials O.
the highest authority, we print the fol-
lowing from Professor E. Dodge, D. D..
LII. D., President of Madison Ui.iver
sity (Baptist):
II have examined with care Johnson:
Cyclopadia, and I must say I ain de-
lighted with it. 1t has marked and spe
cial claims on professional and business
